[nandam]

Hi
Could you please how to take patch info from HP box, example from sun Box if we five uname -a we can find kernal patch. what would be the command for taking info only patch or lost updated patch to the server

[Patrick Wallek]

Too see patch information you can use:

# show_patches

or

# swlist -l product | grep PH

If you want just kernel patches:

# show_patches | grep PHKL

or

# swlist -l product | grep PHKL

Hi Nandam,

You can gather information on Patches using the commands listed below.

#swlist -l product | grep -i PH*
#swlist -l bundel
#show_patches -a * See man page for options

thank for reply see Eg, if we give uname -a in SUN Box we can fine kernal patch is it? but in our Box if we give uname -a we will get like this HP-UX india B.11.00 U 9000/800 692379323 unlimited-user license

can you please tell me how to get

The only way to get the kernel patches installed is with the commands given above.

The is no one single kernel patch. There are MANY MANY kernel patches that effect various parts of the system.

There is really no equivalent because Sun can patch the kernel "on the fly" and you are trying to do an Apples to Oranges comparison. Swlist is as good as it gets on HP-UX. Essentially, you are looking for a simple answer when there is not one. You have to look for all PHKL_ and (almost all) PHNE_ patches but those simply don't translate to anything like a kernel version number.
